Some pain yesterday after a few good days. However, I woke up this morning to mind blowing pain in my left eye and the left side of my scalp which lasted for about 15 seconds. Now a second may not seem like a long time, but I can assure you every one of the 15 lasted a whole lot longer than it should have. On top of that, I have a heavy cold so I'm feeling a lot more sorry for myself than usual. Medication is back to maximum and the good news is that other than my initial episode of pain first thing this morning, there has been no further pain as I type this at 3 in the afternoon.
This blog, my first and only one, started as a diary of my wonderful retirement,but very quickly became an account of my ups and downs with trigeminal neuralgia. If you do read it, don't feel sorry for me. There are people whose condition is much worse than mine. I'll let you know when to feel sorry for me.
Good luck to you Jim. I have been experimenting with a lotion called Painbreak sold by this doctor out of Florida. It has helped me cut down on my meds. I hope it lasts.
